This plaid, made in Scotland mohair scarf has
a capelet like shape and front pockets. Does this
particular style have a name?

Calling it a scarf with pockets sounds weird to me.

I, too, think wool wrap or shawl is accurate. But I think we called them "shawls" back in the day, though, more than "wrap," which I think is more recent terminology for them.... I'd say early 70s--very hippie looking! This would be great with those jeans & some tall boots!
 
i've got a couple of these, and the oldest one is 50's in towelling for the beach, i think the mohair ones were late 50's early 60's as the tartan mohair was a big style at that time, if you think of all those 24" wide tartain mohair stoles.. they were late 50's!
 
hmmmm, here is the label (I'm thinking late 60s, early
70s)

Thanks everyone who mentioned "shawl/wrap" for
some reason, both these terms alluded me and I
was fixated on calling it a scarf.
